How a Lahore Textile Manufacturer Cut Production Delays by 35% with Odoo ERP
ECOSIRE implemented Odoo Manufacturing with multi-level bills of materials configured for each fabric type, integrating weaving, dyeing, and finishing as sequential work centers. Real-time production tracking was enabled through barcode scanning at each stage, giving managers a live dashboard of order progress. Purchase rules were automated to trigger yarn and dye procurement based on confirmed sales orders, eliminating manual estimation. Quality control checkpoints were configured at raw material receipt, post-dyeing, and pre-packing stages with pass/fail workflows that block defective lots from shipping.

課題
Untracked Production Floor Status
Production managers relied on walkie-talkies and physical clipboards to track order progress across weaving, dyeing, and finishing departments. By the time a delay was discovered, downstream processes had already been scheduled around outdated information, causing cascading bottlenecks.
Raw Material Wastage
Yarn and dye procurement was based on rough estimates rather than actual bill-of-materials calculations. Overordering was common, with surplus raw materials deteriorating in storage. The finance team estimated 12-15% excess raw material spend annually.
Export Order Compliance Gaps
International buyers required lot-level traceability and quality inspection certificates for each shipment. Assembling this documentation manually took 3-4 days per export order, frequently delaying container bookings and incurring demurrage charges.
成果
“Before ECOSIRE, our production floor was a black box. We only discovered delays when a buyer called asking where their shipment was. Now every department sees the same live data, and we catch problems before they become expensive.”
今後の展望
The company plans to integrate Odoo with their existing loom monitoring sensors for automated production count reporting. They are also evaluating ECOSIRE marketplace connectors to sell surplus fabric directly on B2B platforms.
